In 2019, Google Play users worldwide downloaded 84.3 billion mobile apps, up from 67 billion apps in 2017. Google Play generates significant more downloads than the Apple App Store, as it is available for a wider range of devices than Apple's closed iOS ecosystem, which is only available for Apple devices.
